Maybe it would be but that isn't a line they've iced. It's Crosby, Mackinnon, Stone. If you're just taking guys who might be on the ice at the same time because they're all on the team then 1987's Messier / Gretzky / Lemieux would be unbeatable, but that wasn't a regular line at that tourney either. It was Brian Propp.
2025 - Mackinnon, Crosby, Stone
2016 - Marchand, Crosby, Bergeron
2010 - Staal, Crosby, Iginla
2006 - ... Let's not talk about it
2002 - Yzerman, Lemieux, Kariya
1998 - Shanahan, Gretzky, Yzerman
1996* - Primeau, Lindros, Shanahan*
1987 - Propp, Gretzky, Lemieux
*Line of Yzerman, Sakic, Fleury probably better on paper but wasn't the "first line"
